Glad this game is back but request visual overhaul

I was a huge fan of the original iOS version of this game. (I think I was at or near the top of the leader board for years!)

It became incompatible with IOS updates many years ago and was unavailable. So this version is very welcome.

That said, and I can’t put my finger on it, but the visual style makes playability a bit difficult. The colors and icons don’t “pop” - the original iOS you could instantly tell where everything was and it was just more
vibrant and easier to play.

I would encourage the devs to check out the original iOS game and make it closer to that.

Best, Gavin

Großartige Umsetzung der Brettspielversion

Bei mir keine Probleme mit Hängern etc. wie sie hier jemand geschildert hat.

Super, mais…

La musique ne joue pas sur tablette et les parties s’arrêtent parfois avant même la fin du jeu: il reste encore des tuiles à placer et des territoires à prendre.

Ce serait bien aussi d’avoir l’option permettant de voir combien de castes les autres joueurs ont réussi à prendre: ça peut changer la dynamique du jeu.

Mais pour le reste, c’est génial. Ça fait vraiment plaisir de pouvoir enfin jouer à ce jeu sur iPhone et iPad!

Veuillez relire les règles, la partie peut parfois se terminer plus tôt que prévu, conformément aux règles officielles.

A modern classic!

I love this digital adaptation of one of the best tile laying board games ever made!

Volle Empfehlung!

Danke, liebe Enwickler!

Missing key scoring element

While the theme and mechanics work well, there are elements of the scoring and graphics that miss the mark. Graphically, small symbols for each faction are difficult to see and should be better emphasized per settlement. Please make the running score a toggle so it can be played as it is in the original game. Balancing your acquisitions against unknown acquired factions of others is one of the key game strategies.

Thanks for your feedback. Regarding the score, you can toggle that in the game settings, for the score to be shown or not. Regarding the graphics, please elaborate. Do you mean the "coins" that are captured or are you talking about the tiles the players play?

Causes iPadOS to hang

Could be an interesting game. Unfortunately the app causes iPadOS 26.2 to freeze. This is very disappointing after paying in advance.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback. Sure you can select starting tiles, it is a setting accessible from where you select opponents. Good idea with playing against multiple masters, that can certainly be implemented. The game is continuously being improved, you are welcome to join the discord channel for further discussion. Thanks for your support!
